Albatross: Lightweight Elasticity in Shared Storage Databases for the Cloud using Live Data Migration

Summary: Albatross enables live migration of tenant OLTP databases over shared storage; migrates cache and in-flight transactions to minimize impact. Guarantees serializability and correctness during failures; zero aborts, negligible latency/throughput impact, ~300 ms unavailability. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
